Lol, could be! Actually, shes supportive of the Z because she understands it was here before her and she knows that I'm not getting married until it can be the wedding car, so even more incentive for her. Lol. But she does get annoyed at so many projects, but I have to work on something, get too bored watching TV.

Glad someone picked up at record, should look good when its polished and back on the road.

Ahh, ok thanks for that, makes sense. Back in the day a scooter was a toy used by somebody who hadn't yet mastered a skateboard. It appears the skate bowl culture has progressed since I last visited one...

No, they're still for kids who haven't mastered a skateboard... judging by my observations of the pecking order (and the graffiti) at my local skate bowl. "Scooter fags" are the lowest of the low, even if some of them can do fairly amazing tricks on them.

Kind of like the dynamic between body board riders and surfers. There are a few professional body boarders... but most of them grow out of it and get a real surfboard, or find a new hobby, in their early teens.

I think we have! That quote "easier to beg for forgiveness than permission" is very true; works for me sometimes. Most times she finds out I've bought something when I say "time for a drive" to pickup..hahahaI should quit for a tad..the collection is getting out of hand; even I have started to trip over the amount of frames and wheelsets lying around.

A nice high-end Shogun Ninja road frame... "upgraded" with 26" wheels and cheap BMX calipers to reach the rims, single-speeded, and with a stupid handlebar setup.

I'd quite like the frame (a nice little one like that would suit me well), but not for that price... and I'm sure as hell not going to pay to freight those wheels and bars any further than the seller's wheelie bin.

I agree; the handelbar setup isn't my style, but otherwise I think it's pretty cool. Long reach dual calipers would help too I guess, but the extra cush in those tyres might make for a nice ride.

Ha! My old Paconi frame. Damn, I was hoping somebody might've found the time to get that re sprayed or P-coated, it was worth it. Not high end, but commuter worthy, and it had rack mounts on the seat stays.
